So not only you get 2 free bags, each bag can be 32 kg, extra bags are also quite cheap and also 32 kg each.
A flight I am interested in, from GRU Sao Paulo to SAN San Diego, goes though YYZ Toronto.
However I would be interested in a stopover in YYZ Toronto, and using Multi-city option I can book with a 2-night stopover in YYZ, for only slightly more then the flight without stopover.
But will then the 2x32kg allowance still apply to the whole itinerary, including the YYZ-SAN leg, or just to GRU-YYZ, and the YYZ-SAN leg will not even have any free checked baggage allowance at all?
Looking at the fare rules for GRU-SAN on AC, it looks like the following applies with regards to pricing....
2 STOPOVERS PERMITTED IN EACH DIRECTION
LIMITED TO 2 FREE AND 2 AT USD 100.00 EACH.
1 FREE IN EACH DIRECTION
1 IN EACH DIRECTION AT USD 100.00.
and when it comes to possible routings....
MAP CONSTRUCTED LEFT TO RIGHT AND RIGHT TO LEFT
1. SAO-YTO/YMQ-YWG-YYC-YVR-SAN
Granted I was looking at the cheapest fare to get this info, but.... it should in theory work to get the stop-over although you might have to phone to avoid paying for the stop-over. That's under the assumption that you are routing GRU-YYZ-SAN and your one and only stopover is in YYZ.
As for luggage, I believe the allowance "should" apply to the entire itinerary.
That being said, and while I
DO work at the airport, YMMV depending on the mood/knowledge/attitude/skill of the person checking you in at YYZ
